Tech N9ne - That’s My Kid lyrics

[Verse 1: Tech N9ne] If my kid has a problem It’s up to me as the guardian to go solve ‘em Make my life and involve ‘em Late at night when I call ‘em I like to hear them say “daddy, your song is awesome” Instead of “g**ners in school won’t let up” I’m fed up, I’m wonderin’ if you could come up and red up You shut up, negativity can’t be found inside my angels Even though I was stupid, but I put it down Set trippin’, I let it go – headed for energetic flow When I’m up to know that I was down and out But now I’m breaded though I know you saw me rep colors When I was young and dumb and malicious I’m thankful, that all my blemishes never made you suspicious sponsored links Latched on to light that’s known to hype Apparent, you coherent knowing I rapped wrong to right Love and positivity instilled in my kid Their family, my family, their mother and I did Discipline starts at home, even if they can’t stand ya Watch ‘em, fights land, ya clock ‘em, right hand To stop em’ – that’s a man, if you stand up, even add a camera They won’t be James Holmes, and they won’t be Adam Lanza Or John Malvo, I’ll flow loud for my child though Ain’t raising no Groucho, evil out my house, yo Instead a me watchin’ ‘em disappear in the night air I’m at graduation sayin’ “that’s my kid right there” [Hook: Cee-Lo Green] I proudly claim my love The future’s born from my own flesh and blood All that matters this time So my prayer is that the sun will always shine On that sweet child of my mine [Verse 2: Big K.R.I.T.] To my unborn I give my all so you could ball like I couldn’t Stay in school and play it smooth and do those things that I wouldn’t Pay attention, keep your distance from ignorant instances Play an instrument, anything that you want, just envision it Follow your dreams, no matter what may come and what may fall ‘Cause ain’t no shame in failin’ long as you know you gave your all Stand up, man up, get a handle on yourself, tighten your belt Do what you can to do for you and ya’ll just don’t Do it for the wealth that they offer It sounds awful, but if me and your mama ain’t talkin’ And she said that I ain’t offerin’ a call just as often as I should I pray that you get older and you understand That I was just doin’ what I could When she left me – if you have a second I could explain Like so many transitions in life, your people change Whether I’m on top… or dead in a box I love you dearly, sincerely, and that’ll never stop For my kid… [Hook: Cee-Lo Green] [Verse 3: Kutt Calhoun] Paris and Darius, Dariana, Unique, Oshay, Malik And one on the way in a matter of weeks But it’s a shame, ’cause I think that my other daughter ain’t mine Andrea baby, I love you, I guess your father was blind In due time you’ll understand it, how your mama was scandalous Wait, this don’t seem right, man, I don’t think I can handle it When I all I ever did was show love for you Sweated blood for you, any moment take a slug for you But it’s cool, the baby mama drama is expected And that karma’s gonna be what I’ve been blessed with Sit back and learn your lessons As our seeds grow from kids to adolescents Then resent you for yourself, it’s misdirection The first to heed the message is Malik Abandonded by his mama on Thanksgiving eve About three years ago, was up to me to feed to him morals Values, manhood, knowledge, a week ago he graduated You asking? Then I’mma say… [Hook: Cee-Lo Green]
